Let K be a global field. Using natural spaces of functions on
the adele ring and the idele class group of K, we construct a
virtual representation of the idele class group of K whose
character is equal to a variant of the Weil distribution which
occurs in André Weil's explicit formula. Hence this
representation encodes information about the distribution of the
prime ideals of K and is a spectral interpretation for the poles
and zeros of the L-function of K. Our construction is
motivated by a similar spectral interpretation by Alain Connes.
